The BBC reports that the British government is “significantly increasing” the numbers of police trained to deal with a dirty bomb attack, with the Home Office planning to buy 12,000 extra personal protection suits for police officers to wear in the event of a radiological, biological or chemical attack.
Conservative homeland security spokesman Patrick Mercer said he was “delighted” by the move.
“It seems strange that they are doing it in December 2006 rather than October 2001,” he added.
